Is Google crippling Firefox?
ActiveX is actually really cool and makes [whatever new feature] much more pleasant. I'm not surprised they want to keep the number of codepaths they have to support low. Have we been here before?

The difference is that MSE is a W3 standard, as linked to in the original comment. It's not Google's own proprietary standard.

Ah, that is indeed a fair point; hopefully, Google will switch to capability checking instead of UA sniffing, once this is implemented in FF.
